I used to feel the same way about Rite of Passage, but in recent years that song has really grown on me. I love the intro, and the chorus really hits hard for me.

 

A Rite of Passage
(Pop)Ular SciencE
Head on a Plate (brutal matchup)
The Walking Wounded

 

Carry On has that great ending but overall Rite of Passage is a way more interesting song.

 

Don’t look now, but Rite of Passage is only trailing by one vote now...

 

Choice Hops is my absolute favorite Bayside song. Will probably get pummeled the first chance it gets but they played it live when I saw them in 2016 and my head almost fell off I was so pumped.

 

I also love that song. It’s scheduled to face the winner of Carry On/Rite of Passage. I could see it pulling it out.

 

As much as I do enjoy Rite of Passage (and Carry On), I'd probably pick Choice Hops over both of them. So you got my vote at least lol

 

Quick, we must recruit more soldiers for our Choice Hops Army!

Pretty easy first round for me!

 

The best Bayside album is easily Live at the Bayside Social Club. I will not be taking further questions at this time.

Damn, for some reason I stop getting notifications for this thread randomly and miss a bunch of stuff

Carry on
Popular science
Holiness
Wounded

 

That happens to me all the time. I think on these forums if you check notifications but don't actually look at the thread you never get another notification...I think it's by design.

 

I enjoy this album a lot, but I literally couldn't tell you what the last three songs sounded like before relistening to it

 

Welcome back!

Found this old article where Anthony ranks the first 6 albums, interesting read

Rank Your Records: Bayside's Anthony Raneri Says He'd Like to Redo Some Things on 'Shudder'

 

I wouldn’t expect any less from someone putting out a new record at the time, but Cult at #1 is pretty funny to me. I still love that record, but it wouldn’t come close to the top of my list.

 

Never really understood the dislike for Cult from the fanbase. I really enjoy pretty much every song and, while it's nothing super inventive, I really can't think of any major issues that I have with it. It's probably middle of the pack toward the lower end of my favorite Bayside albums, but Bayside's a top 5 favorite band for me, so that's not a knock on the album

 

Leaving this round open until noon EST tomorrow.
